Application filed July 28, 1913; Serial No. 781,463.

To all whom it may concern:

. 4 l Be it known that I, lrlnrnnicir Korri us, a subject of the King ofPrussia, and resldlng ct Moltkestrasse 29, Essenon-the-Ruhr, in Prussia.vGermany, have mvented certain new and useful'llniprovements in endRelating to Dvens for Generating Gas and Producing Joke, of which thefollowing is e specification.

object of this invention is to provide an arrangement for eiiicient andeasy inspouted delivery of the heating gases to gas retorts and cokeovens having vertical chains inlets of the'latter'through iiuessurrounding. the oven chuulbers, the regenerutors extending up to tl topof the oven.

According to the present invention, the regeneretors are preferablyarranged at bothsides of the. oven, the heating fines formingshortstraight pass-ages located in te'rmediute the several coking ehembers.

The connections between the heating fines and the rcgeneretors aredistributed over.

the entire height of the oven thereby insuring a full utilization of theregeuerntors for the reason that the heating gase. must pass horiontallytherethrough in lieu of follow ing a diagonal course as is the case withthe ovens hitherto generally known. In order to permit the formation ofzones of difierent heat intensity at difi'erent levels, each heatingflue is subdivided by horizontal pertitions into a plurality ofvertically aimed flues which are adapted to receive heating gases ofdifferent composition.

' In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a vertical section through anoven en1- bodying my invention, and Fig. 2 e. tal section thereof.

The oven chambers 6 arranged in pairs at the side of each other, andsupported by the supports a, are closed at the top by covers 0 and atthe bottom by closures d; the chamber may, however, be arranged toprovide for the known continuous operation. Each pair of chambers l)issurrounded by two heating wells 6, which are divided mtosepcratehorizontal flues f; the heating walls e horizon communicate bynozzle-shaped passages g with the regenerators I; and i, which arearranged at the narrow sides of the oven chambers?) and are distributedthroughout the entire height thereof. The regenerators /r and i are inall cases divided by walls is, which latter are connected to the heatingwalls disposed in front and back of the chambers 7). Along the outerside of each or the regenerators it and i, there extends a ver ti'calduct o for supplyin a combustion element and diSQ-hargmgo gases,respectively, which duct communicates with its regenerutor throughoutthe entire height thereof. Ducts v. are connected by passages mcontrolled by slides Z to the discharge ilues 71,-0, end the pairs ofregenerators are also alternately provided with air slides 7) andconnections I to the gas conduit 9".

In operation all the regenerators It, for instance, would be closed tothe discharge Hues 0 by the slides Z and fed alternately in sequence ofarrangement with gas from the conduit r and with air byopening theconnections 7). After passing through the nozzle-like pusszigcs gcombustion of the gas and air takes place in the heating walls e;

the gases then passing through the passages into the regeuerators 2'. Atthis side of the oven the branch connections q for the inlet of gas, theslides 31 for the inlet of uir are closed, while the slides Z are openand consequently give access .to the dis charge flue n. After givingofl' theirheat tothe lattice-work filling in the regenerators i, theWaste gases are conducted by the flue n to the chimney. At intervals ofabout every half hour the positions of the valves are reserved so thatthe air and gas passes in the opposite direction. 'Wherens theregeueretors acting for the time-being as accumulators of heat aretraversed by a horizontal current, the uniform distribution of the gasesto be heated to difierent heights of the regenerators may be effectivelyregulated by a suitable arrangement of the gas and air inlets. y
